London, UK - Rachel Zegler got candid about the online vitriol she faced as she took on the leading role in Disney's live-action adaptation of Snow White.

Speaking with Harper's Bazaar, the 24-year-old admitted she found the reactions to her casting "confusing," especially after her experience starring in West Side Story.

The casting of Zegler, who is of Colombian ancestry, as the iconic Disney princess was met with right-wing outrage, while her leading role in West Side Story sparked questions about whether she was "sufficiently Hispanic" to play the movie's Puerto Rican female star.

"It was a really confusing time to be in my early twenties and hearing that," she explained, adding that "in the public eye at least, when you're two things, you're simultaneously nothing."

Still, Zegler emphasized that she "refuses to assimilate for anybody else's comfort."

Her initial casting was far from the only controversy to strike the Snow White adaptation.

Zegler first faced criticism from die-hard Disney fans for calling out the dated elements of the 1937 original, but things escalated much further when she publicly advocated for the Palestinian people under a post featuring the movie's trailer.

"I've said what I feel, and that will always be a testament to my core beliefs as a human," she said. "That's where I stand."

Zegler's call for a free Palestine amid Israel's unrelenting assault was met with another right-wing firestorm – one that even reportedly led Disney executives to urge her to delete the post.

Though the Broadway star stands by her support of Palestinians, she admitted that the vitriol she faced as a result hasn't been easy to digest.

"If I'd been able to predict everything that would come my way, the threats to my safety, I would have just thrown my phone into the ocean," she told the outlet.

"I think any sane person would have."

Now, though, she's ready to be a source of support for other young female actors – especially women of color.

Zegler, who starred in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, revealed that she got in touch with Whitney Peak, the 23-year-old Ugandan-Canadian actor who will star in the franchise's newest installment.

"I reached out to say, 'I'm here, even though I hope to God you don't need me.'"
